PLEASE SHARE ABOUT THIS GLOBAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITY  FOR YOUTH IN YOUR DISTRICTS !!!  THANK YOU!

Dear friends, Thank you so much for helping us get the word out to teachers in your districts  about our Teach East Asia Conference for K-12 Educators. The teachers loved it and gave it a 96% rating on their evaluation. We are now open for registration for Part 2 , the Teach East Asia Youth Forum. As before, would you be kind enough  to share this opportunity with Middle and High School teachers that you work with? We would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!.......Karen Ettinger, Director, K-12 Education
